Providence continued its unlikely run through the postseason with a 2-1 win over conference rivals Creighton on Saturday night to advance to the Elite Eight for the second time in three seasons.
Fresh off their upset of unbeaten top seed Maryland, the Friars again fell behind early on a ninth-minute goal from Joel Rydstrand, but leading goalscorer Julian Gressel leveled the score in the 21st minute with his 15th goal of the season.
With under eight minutes remaining and the game still tied 1-1, Gressel played provider, setting up freshman Danny Griffin for the game-winner. The goal was the sixth game-winner of the season for Griffin.
